I want to bathe in the sunshine

and bask in the rain

I want to have more fun times

And avoid more pain

I want to

swim in the cool breeze 

And find

shelter from the storm

I want to

have more fuel please

To help

more good dreams take form

**

We are on a journey

We can feel the season

We don’t have to worry

We have learned to use reason

With different situations 

And all sorts of weather

With no hesitation

We reach further

To keep it together

**

I want to save all the daytime

And map out the night

I want to

connect where the stars shine

And hold onto their light

I want more hours to achieve

And more minutes to rest

I want to find ways to believe

It will turn out for the best

**

We are on a mission

We can sense the system

We do have a vision

We have developed a rhythm

With different situations 

And all sorts of weather

With no hesitation

We reach further

To keep it together

**

We keep it together

By just staying calm

And not

spreading ourselves out

way too thin

There is a layer of cloud

Fear and doubt

But the sunshine can also win

**

We keep it together

By using good reason

Adapt to the weather

that we are in

If there’s good reason to shout

Just let it out

For all of the Earth

Just give it a real good spin

***

I look for faces

To keep pace with

The season and

Each month of the year

*

Cold one moment

Not cold in the next

Everyone feels it

Except those

that are free from it

**

I look for faces

To be gracious

In each hour and

Day of the month

*

Warm one moment

Not warm in the next

Everyone feels it

Everyone needs it

To answer all of our prayers

**

I look for faces

My heart races

With each season and

Month of the year

*

Hot one moment

Not hot in the next

Everyone sees it

Everyone feels it

*

Your charm

I find so bright

With every eyeful

All your beauty

Your soul

Shines day and night

Everyone we might know

**

I look for faces

To fill spaces

Each second and

Minute of the hour

*

Cool one moment

Not cool in the next

Everyone thinks it

Everyone sees it

Except those

that are free from it

*

One motion

One gesture

Seals the deal

Makes us real

We need strength

To handle the heat

Our intelligence can numb it

***

The stretch to reach our future version

The hold, very close that makes all the difference right now

The connection that enables both to work together because we know for certain it will work out

One way or another

It will work out

**

The thoughts about a past experience 

The decision that we make for the moments here and now

The connection that enables both to work together because we know for certain it will work out

One way or another

It will work out

**

Days may go astray

Not the way we wanted to

But eventually 

One way or another

It will always work out

*

Our cognition

And intuition

About the past or future

Make all the

difference in the world

right here and now

**

The moment that catches us in present times

The instant we are thrown into the current, here and now

The connection that enables us to work forever because we know for certain it will work out

One way or another

It will work out

**

Days may go sideways 

Not the way we wanted to

But eventually 

One way or another

It will always work out

*

Days may go as planned

We may have the upper hand

Eventually 

One way or another

It will always work out

*

Our cognition

And intuition

About the past or future

Make all the

difference in the world

Right here and now

*

Our persistence

And insistence 

About the present moment

Make all the

Difference in the world

Right here and now

In a mediocre day

I make it my own way

Get through excelling

Future-telling

Made in stages

To be great as

Anyone

And at least okay right now

*

In a true blue collar way

I make it through the day

Get by outstanding

Not too demanding

Made in stages

To be great as

Anyone

At least okay right now

**

Working all the time

Even when we are done

Working for a dime

They expect us to run

*

They treat us like we are

unfeeling machines

They don’t care about our brains or hearts

They are indifferent to our personal scenes

And then adamant

when we stop and start

**

On an average sort of day

I make it my own way

Get through excelling

My soul I’m selling

Made in stages

To be great as

Anyone

And at least okay right now

**

Working all the time

Even when we are off

Working past our prime

And they still call us “soft”

*

They treat us like we are

programmed machines

But they don’t care about

our moving parts

They are indifferent if

we don’t have the means

But yet get so furious

when we fall apart

**

On any given day

I try to have my say

Get through excelling

The world I’m telling

Made in stages

To be great as

Any world

And at least okay right now

Let’s make it through somehow

***

I have a different

frame of mind

Since I got left behind

Which was caused by an understandable

lapse in attention

*

Now we are both in different moods

We changed our relevant views

Somewhere we may have lost

our essential comprehension

*

And we may never find ourselves

on the same pathway again

**

Now if we had

fallen in true love

We could never get enough

But with less-known

souls or strangers

We don’t have that dimension

*

We both have different attitudes 

And quite clearly different views

We should not miss the chance to build

essential comprehension

**

Can you tell me your point of view?

Or how we could make things better?

Get over a barrier or two

Discussion helps us comprehend them

We try joining our views for a while

First pretend

Then we will be transcending 

*

And find a point of view

That we can attend to

**

I have a different

frame of mind

That can’t get left behind

But may naturally fade

in and out of our conscious attention

*

Now we are both in different moods

We changed our relevant views

Somehow we start to build

our essential comprehension

**

Can you see my point of view?

Or how we could make it better?

Perform a miracle or two

No surprise we can’t comprehend it

But try joining this view for a while

First pretend

Then you will be transcending 

*

And find a point of view

That we can attend to
